I just checked the 5 or 6 pairs of Converse in my room and they are all made in Nam or China.

Just looked at mine from Zappos, made in China.

Anyone know if Jack Purcell has a slim model? Love my slim ox CTs.

Good to hear. I usaully like things that are made in INdia. Just because i think it is such a romantic type place......where yoga is so common and India reminds me of the British Empire and things like that.
I usually dont like made in china things but when it comes to converse that seems ok. Nice.

^ been trying to track this shoe down in my size for about 3 months now, sold out everywhere and converse says they've ceased production on it =/

the new woolrich collab looks decent but I'm not really sure I'm a fan of the the additional black accent. that and i'd still take canvas over wool any day:

I just got word from converse:

Hello,

We have checked with our product team and they have informed us that those 2 colors were dropped from production. Only the Navy color will be available. We apologize for any inconvenience.

If we can assist you further, please let us know.

Have a great day!
